What problem does it solve?

Upgrading legacy .NET Framework apps to modern .NET introduces risk and complexity. This Skill provides a structured, stepwise approach to perform safe migrations while preserving behavior and enabling modern tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stepwise migration guidance: one focused change at a time to keep builds green.
  • Branching strategy and validation: create a dedicated migration branch, verify builds and tests after each step.
  • Prerequisites and configuration guidance: convert to SDK-style csproj, enable Central Package Management, migrate packages.config to PackageReference.
  • Use Case: upgrading a large solution from .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 6/8/10 with a phased, test-driven approach.

Quick Start

  • Create a migration branch for your solution.
  • Convert projects to SDK-style csproj and set up Central Package Management.
  • Migrate packages.config to PackageReference and verify the build and tests after each step.
  • Run the guided migration to move from .NET Framework to modern .NET versions in phases.
